Chris,
following your request I just checked with the latest mainline kernel,
2.6.32-020632rc1. The behaviour is exactly the same, a "modprobe it87"
will only succeed if the kernel boots up with
acpi_enforce_resources=lax.
But as Hernando wrote in post #2, this is the expected behaviour now.
Seems the only hack-free (user friendly) solution would be adding the
above kernel line during Ubuntu installation ("We just detected that
your it87 conflicts ... blah ... normally safe to use but (whatever)...
blah ... would you like the it87 to be activated anyway (yes/no)" - or
something like that. :-)
